I received... 98% of the pieces now... except those 2 plates/tiles, steering wheel and 2x6 plate... ...

Well it's the 90th anniversary of LEGO as a whole right, doesn't have to be all classic stuff. I mean a lot of them are from the 90s/early 2000s so why not Trains too? I'd wager there'd be a lot more interest for the more recent line anyway particularly as the blocky classic stuff wouldn't fit so well into a lot of modern city builds. I don't see an issue with this, they still let you specify a sub-theme so you can easily request the first line of Alpha Team sets. Maybe they're being sensitive given recent events in America if you're talking about gun violence Also with thirty to choose from, the ones they've picked are quite iconic and I wouldn't be surprised if Western just missed the cut. At the risk of incurring the wrath of all the Bionicle fans out there, I rather hope Bionicle doesn't make the cut. It's already been re-launched fairly recently, and of all the products to choose from, if they do something from the original run then I don't see much opportunity for creativity or having a decently large set? They'll be making something new (re-releasing Tahu wouldn't be particularly impressive of a 90th anniversary celebration) and I don't see where you can go with that. Well yeah, LEGO started in 1932 And this gives them plenty of time to design a set, get it peer reviewed, produced, all that lengthy process which will presumably be made tougher during the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm sure they'll have a lot of other things planned for 2022 too - LEGO IDEAS isn't one of the more well-known parts of the company (ask anyone in the street about it and they likely won't have heard about it compared to other aspects of LEGO) so this seems to me like a nice side-project for the fans who know about it. Sure they could make one for every theme but that's a huge investment banking on people's nostalgia. This method lets them gauge how much interest there would actually be for such a thing, I'm sure all the business boffins there would have proposed an entire line of products if they thought it would be financially worthwhile. And I really don't think this is going to split the fan base haha, it's a harmless vote. I'd hope that the LEGO fandom doesn't draw in the kind of people that will go ballistic at each other over which toy gets made. If you're that desperate just buy the original ones off Bricklink or eBay.

I'm waiting for parts... but you know... there are impossible parts 1x6 tiles and plates in Bricklink parts are not "purple" like it should be...

This is really fishy ? for a couple of reasons.... Firstly, it's... got some errors. - Typo on 'transparrent,' twice. - The 'pretty picture' for Trains - the very first image - is a set from 2004 (10133), as opposed to actually classic trains from 1980. Wat? - Alpha Team's picture (the final one) is of the third wave - Ogel's icy fortress, from 2004, as opposed to the actual first Alpha Team theme - Western isn't on the list? Possibly due to guns and violence / portrayal of American-Indians. Secondly, there's a bit of hidden fine print... So the second vote doesn't actually matter: of the three most-voted themes, one of these will be voted to be the most popular, and one of these will have the set. They could be the same, but they also could be different. I guess - since Bionicle is on the list and that's clearly going to be one of the top three - this is a handy get-out clause for Lego and means they don't have to make a Bionicle set The set will arrive in 2022. That is still quite some time away. Thirdly, and most importantly, I just don't get the idea behind making a single set. It's a celebration of all the history, an anniversary, and all the other fun things that have happened. Making a single set that people voted for could alienate the people that didn't vote for it, and why bother doing that when you could do something else? I kinda expect something else will happen... possibly a mashup set, or possibly an entire theme consisting of one set remastering each theme? Lego can put all the effort in they want - they're not restricted to solely making a single set. They could make one for every theme. Why split your fanbase into those-that-got-a-set-they-voted-for and those-that-didn't-and-are-setless? Hence I kinda expect the 2022 - it's still a long way away indeed! - lineup to fundamentally have more than one theme, be that a mashup set, a set that has minifigures from other themes thrown in (eg ClassicSpace, but Dash from Alpha Team and Commander Cold from Ice Planet are aboard the ship), or just multiple sets. I just... don't see things turning out as a single set as a result of this vote. It doesn't make sense to me. Also, Lego Star Wars is technically a pre-2000s theme, with sets like 7180 B-Wing scraping in at late 1999 before the millennium rolled around, and I find that hilarious.

Damn so many good choices, how are you supposed to narrow it down to just three (and then one)?!

Do you know LSR ? Yeah it's long !

Update: I'm also working on a new tool to create LWO + UV files without relying on LightWave or UView, stay tuned.

I'll let the images speak for themselves: (The original edits came first, then the Lego model, then the new RR model) Download here! The Hover Scout can now: - carry one resource - clear rubble off the bat. In addition, it can be upgraded to: - drill walls - go faster - have a laser and scanner For the low, low price of one crystal! Now that it's a Cafeteria patch you don't even need to install it manually - just throw it in the Mods folder, hit Rebuild, and go! (If you want to manually install it - e.g. into your overhaul - just unpack the ,wadp and follow the instructions in script.txt). The original work was done in Notepad++ Infrequently Asked Questions: Thanks to alan and Cirevam in this topic. Older pictures and versions: Previous advertisement:

Hey Jessietail, i ported you're files so its now compatible with Cyrem's Cafeteria mod manager. Link: http://www32.zippyshare.com/v/9AGYKVlN/file.html I don't know how the file database work on this forum. It would be nice when a CM can add this to it.

Just wanted to share this with you fellow RR modders. :-)

Here is my High-Poly Small Wheel. Download here. You place it in the Vehicles/SmallTruck and Vehicles/SmallDigger folders, or wherever you need the file. You should be able to put in the World/Shared folder, and delete the file from wherever the files are located in any of the small vehicles, and it would still work right, but this is untested. Can anyone verify for me if it works?

At first I want to say that I know about the topic Ride Slimey Slugs Mod by Cirevam. But since I never got it to work (automatical and manual install) I went through the files on my own and found the required information for a Rideable Slimey Slug that is also listed in the 'Small Vehicles' menu. Features of the rideable Slimey Slug: listed in the vehicles menu with custom icon exclusively for the Slimey Slug animations (already used ingame and those which are hidden in the files) for teleporting down, driving (with RR sitting on it), standing and even: the slug can mine walls (with well-fitting animation, you'll see yourself!) The only problem is that you still hear the drilling sound (I wasn't able to remove it, sorry), maybe someone (Cirevam?) knows a solution? DOWNLOAD Installation Instructions: Put the folder 'DrivingSlug' into LEGORR0Vehicles (WAD METHOD) or Put the folder 'DrivingSlug' into DataVehicles (DATA METHOD) Add the lines to LEGO.cfg (in LEGORR1 (WAD METHOD) or in Data (DATA METHOD) as it is explained in the Lego_Additional.cfg in the download. Thanks to Cirevam because he told me how to make the slug drillable! If you have any questions about the vehicle / download / installation feel free to ask. Edit: Here's a video:

Thanks, Cire. I finished the model and I'll start to optimize away the geometry.
